RC Delta Plane
I made this over the weekend
Its made from medium thickness cardboard, strengthened with 2mm carbon fibre rods throughout main wing and tail piece, it has turnigy 1.5kg servo's, 20a esc and outrunner motor, also running my futaba skysports 6 radio - it's not ideal because it doesn't support elevon mixing but it will do. I will be running the delta on 3s lipo, and hopefully t has enough power to stay in the air. I have never flown a delta wing before so its a bit hit + miss, but ill give it a try. all components are from previous 3d foamy plane I built a while back, but didn't do much with since it snapped almost straight away! anyway, here some pictures, let me know what you think I will be posting a few video's soon when I get it running with a new batt and if it flies.

I LOVE THE FACT ITS MADE FROM CARD!!
its cost like 20p to build BARGAIN |

Yeah, its got a little bit of weight to it, but then again I think 3s lipo will be able to handle that weight and give it enough lift.
It was great fun to build too! even if it doesnt fly, it'll be be hanging on my shop wall

Never seen a separate elevator on a delta before... Should work though |

I really do hope so they always seem to fly so nice
yeah, the elevator was only put on because my futaba radio doesn't support elevon mixing, not ideal but hopefully it will be successful
